Valued Policy Insurance.

The Legislature of New Hampshire,
two years ago, passed an insurance law
known as the Valued Policy act, making
the amount written in the policy the
measure of damages to be paid in case
the insured property should be destroy
ed by fire, no matter what might be its
real value. The insurance companies
insisted that this was offering a pre-
MUM on fraudulent over-insurance and
incendiarism and though other States
had similar laws to which they were
submitting, the foreign companies de-
termined to make an example of New
Hampshire, and they withdrew from
the State. The result has been that the
cost of insurance has been increased and
the home companies are not enabled to
furnish reliable insurance TO the extent
required. The Legislature, now in ses-
sion, has been petitioned by property
owners to remedy the evil, which can
only be done by repeating the law now
on the statute books.
There has been for some time a strong
sentiment in Mississippi in favor of q
statute similar to that of New Hamp-
shire, AMI the measure was discussed be
fore the Legislature of 1886. Should it
be again proposed it would be well tC
fecollect the experience of New Hamp-
shire. Should all the foreign insurance
companies doing bushes in Mississippi
withdraw from the State, incalculabl'
| injury would be wrought.

Cheap Money Wanted.

The Shubuta Messenger of a recent
date contained the following paragraph:
lOur statute proyidesia sufficient interest
on money and debts-6 per cent if no con-
tract is made, with liberty to contract for
10 per cent. There should be no change
made in this law to higher rate, and we
presume no one is so foolish as to advocate
a higher rate. Let the law alone, and let
the usurer go his way if he can not con-
within the present statute.
Our esteemed contemporary is right,
the rate of interest is high enough.
But would it not be good policy in the
Legislature, in the interest of money
borrowers-and nearly all of US belong
TO that classic exempt from taxation
all money loaned at say, 6 or per
cent? A proposition of this kind, if
we are not mistaken, was defeated in
the Legislature of 1886, on the ground
that it was in the interest Of the rich.
Is that the correct view?
The rich mantle man with money
to lends supposed to be able to pay
his taxes no matter how high they
may be, while it is a struggle always
with the poor man to pay his, no matter
how low they may be; therefore, it is
that any scheme of taxation is COM
mendable which, though beneficial to
the rich, is at the same time a benefit to
the poor.
A law exempting from taxation
money loaned at low rate of interest
would have the good effect Of inviting
capital to our State and of enabling the
money borrowers to save from two to
four per cent. in interest. The money
thus saved would be greatly in excess of
any sum the State can hope to get in the
shape of taxes and would go directly
into the pockets of those most needing
it.
The practical effect of the scheme
would be as if money were loaned at 10
per cent, as now, and the State paid
two, three, or four per cent of the inter
est for the borrowers, with this excep-
ton: that the State will never be able
TO collect from a tax on loaned money
as much as would be saved under such
scheme to the borrowers.
Our people will borrow money. At
present they pay from ten TO twenty Pr
cent. for it. If they could pay off their
debts with money at six, seven, or even
eight per cent, what a wonderful saw.
ing there would be. We believe that
money at 6 or per cent. and cotton al
9 or 10 cents, would be better for the
people of this State than cotton at /;
cents and money at 10 per cent. and up
wards.
The subject of cheap money is worth
consideration, and any proposition hav
ing for its object lower rate of interest
than is generally paid, should be de
feated, if at all, on its merits, and not
by the misleading assertion that it is g
scheme for the benefit of the rich.

The Publication of Rates.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
has promulgated the following: "Where-
as, section of the act to regulate COM
merce authorizes the Commission to di-
rect when joint tariffs shall be made
public, and prescribe the measure of
publicity to be given same, ordered as
follows:
"Joint tariffs, rates, fares or charges
established by two or more common car
riers for transportation of passengers
and freight passing over continuous
lines or routes, copies of which are re-
CURED by the sixth section of the act to
regulate commerce, to be filed with the
commission, shall be made public as far
as the same relates to business between
points connected by the lines of any
single common carrier required by the
first paragraph of said section to make
public schedules of its rates, fares and
charges.
''Such joint tariffs shall be so publish
ed by plainly printing same in large
type, of at least the size of ordinary
plea, copies of which shall be kept for
the use of the public in such places and
in such form as they can be convenient
ly inspected, at every depot or station
upon the line of the carriers uniting in
such joint tariff, where any business is
transacted in competition with business
of carrier whose schedules are required
by law to be made public as afore-
said"

The Yazoo Plan.

The plan adopted by the Democrats
of Yazoo county for making nominal
tions, though more complicated than
the Kinds county plan, has some fea-
lures that are worthy of consideration.
As in Kinds county there will be a
Convention composed of delegates from
the several precincts, and the candi-
dates voted for will receive in the Con-
vention the share of the votes of the
delegates indicated by the votes cast at
the precinct meetings.
But in Yazoo no candidate can be
nominated unless he receive a majority
of all the votes cast in the Convention.
OF course when there are only two can
didates voted for one ballot will deter
mine the choice; but the Yazoo plan
provides for a choice at the precinct
meetings where there are as many as
three candidates voted for, in which
event four ballots become necessary.
For instance: If the first ballot should
disclose that A., B. and Q. have been
voted for, second ballot would be
taken between A. and B., third
between A. and c., and a fourth between
b. and G.. The second ballot would
anticipate the contingency that G. may
be dropped in the Convention, the third
that B. may be dropped, and the fourth
that A. may be dropped. So that the
delegates will be instructed in any con-
tingency to the extent of third choice.
Further than that no provision has been
made for ascertaining the will of the
voters at the precinct meetings, and the
delegates will vote at discretion as here

A Southern Journals View of the
Captured Flag Question.

1t will be seen by the following edito-
rial of the Canton Picket that it holds
that the battle-fags captured from the
Confederates belong to the Northern
States and not the United States gov
eminent; and that logically the latter
has no authority to surrender them
without consent of the former.
The Northern States, especially Ohio
and Kansas, are right in Directing to
the national government returning to
the Southern States the battle-fags cap
tured by the volunteer troops of the
Northern States during the war. When
those States sent these trophies of their
valor to the National Capital for preser-
vation they did not part with the owner
ship of them, neither did they delegate
to the national government any power
whatever to dispose of them. These
flags are the property of the States
whose troops captured them, and if
these States see proper to return them
to the Southern States they, and they
alone, have the right to do so. Any
other line of reasoning would be at
variance with the high principles for
which Southern soldiers fought and un-
der whose auspices the captured flags
and hundreds of uncaptured flags were
unfurled-the doctrine of States rights.
The South always maintained and still
maintains that the States of this great
Union have reserved rights that have
not been delegated to the nation. 1t
was for this that the South fought, and
it is for the unfolding of these princi-
pies that we say to-day that the States
that have property right in the cap
tured flags should insist upon preserving
these rights against the wiles and pre-
tentions of the general government.
Stand up for your rights, o, Ohio, and
o, you, bleeding Kansas stand up
for yours, even if you have to bleed
again. The solid South stands at your
back to whoop you up, and, should you
succeed, to rejoice that the doctrines and
for which she fought have
been vindicsted, though long deferred,
in the house of her erstwhile enemies.
